Powerful Photography Explores and Reimagines Black Identity Through Classical Art History

The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) in Washington, D.C., will present "Tawny Chatmon: Sanctuaries of Truth, Dissolution of Lies," a solo exhibition of over 25 large-scale photographs by artist Tawny Chatmon, running from October 15, 2025, to March 8, 2026. The works, drawn from series dating from 2019 to the present, blend photography with hand-applied paint, gold leaf, and precious materials, depicting Black children and families in gilded frames inspired by Gustav Klimt and medieval icons. This is Chatmon's first museum exhibition in the nation's capital.
